As the Giants and Cubs cool off from their red-hot starts, the Dodgers and Cardinals suddenly find themselves in spitting distance of first place in their respective divisions — the Dodgers 4 games back and the Cards 6.5 back. Back in May, the Dodgers took two of three from the Cards at Dodger Stadium. Ah, remember those Ross Stripling days of yore?

Blanton gets hit pretty hard by each batter, but all three are outs. Wish Joc would stop jumping into the outfield wall (to be fair, I wish Blanton wouldn't let hitters hit them out there to begin with).

Joc with a nice catch to sit Fatt Adams down. Though I don't know how many times he's already run into the ground or outfield wall with that wonky shoulder. Makin' me nervous. I think Orel is next on the outfield depth chart if we have another injury.
